I have the joy of teaching some wonderful students at Union University.  In my Doctrine of God class, I always assign D.A. Carson's The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God (Crossway, 2000).  It is an 84 page volume, and is a great way to help students think about how to "do" theology.  Carson essentially sees five "strands" of the love of God in the Bible.  To highlight or emphasize one strand of what the Bible teaches about the love of God while excluding others will get you into trouble.  It is the kind of book I wish I had read as a first-year seminary student, and I am happy to "make" my students read it.
